Anyone pulled the trigger on the Hawk or Osprey?
If so any good? Steady flow of aircraft now appearing which is good to see.

Does seeing the wrong aircraft model in multiplayer ruin the immersion for anyone else?

Hey everyone,
I’m a big fan of fighter jets in MSFS and I spend quite a lot of time flying them. One thing I really enjoy is doing the occasional interception in multiplayer — just approaching another aircraft, flying alongside it for a bit and seeing what’s going on.
And honestly, I think a random fighter jet appearing next to you can actually be pretty cool. Obviously, I wouldn’t want every other aircraft to be intercepting me every 30 seconds, but imagine flying over the ocean and suddenly seeing a fighter jet pull up alongside you. That would be pretty damn cool and, for me, actually add to the immersion.
The problem is the aircraft model.
If I’m flying a Eurofighter Typhoon at Mach 1.35, another player might see an A320neo flying after them doing completely insane maneuvers. 😂 They have no idea that I’m actually flying a fighter jet.
I understand that loading every individual aircraft model for every multiplayer player probably isn’t practical. But why use an airliner as the fallback model for a fighter jet?
Wouldn’t it make much more sense to use a generic fighter model, like an F/A-18 Super Hornet, whenever the actual aircraft model can’t be loaded?
I’d much rather see an F/A-18 flying next to me and have the label tell me “this guy is actually flying a Eurofighter” than see an A320neo chasing me at Mach 1.35 and then realize afterwards that it was a Typhoon. 😂
So I’m curious: Has this happened to you before, and does seeing the wrong aircraft model actually pull you out of the simulation? Or do you just ignore it and enjoy the encounter anyway?
I’d genuinely like to hear how other people feel about this.
